http://www.woodmizer.com- Another new introduction to the portable sawmill industry by Wood-Mizer was the use of thin blades to cut lumber. This is called "thin-kerf", kerf being the amount of wood removed by the blade. Conventional circular mills use thick blades that remove up to a quarter inch of wood every pass. (In the diagram to the left, see how thin the kerf is from Wood-Mizer blades on the log to the left, compared to the conventional kerf on the right!) Wood-Mizer ultilizes blades that only remove less than 1/10th of an inch! A Wood-Mizer sawmill will produce (on average) about 20% more boards per log than circle mills, giving you more product from your log supply.
